Better than I could have, too. Many of us like to claim that all that is necessary is that God's word be spoken... no matter how, nor by whom. I say NOT SO! Otherwise God would not have "given some to be teachers and some to be evangelists", etc. Do what you can, when you can, through who...

I just received this from Grace Centered Magazine, I think it was......... It kind of fits here. There is a great chasm in our culture. This is the reason fifty-five-year-old bosses are clueless when it comes to motivating and dispatching their younger workforce. This is why parents feel...

Yes, just what I have been saying, you simply don't seem to be able to see it.

I think you have missed the point of that verse, (I BOLDED it), and it has encouraged you to jump on the "The Law is Dead to Me" bandwagon.

Well, as long as you post that the laws God gave have nothing to do with us, how can I explain anything to you? "Being in Christ" is a lot more than just technically being "saved."

It is disappointing to say, but "Worthy" reminds me of the close-mindedness of so many mainline churches.

Sadly, I really do believe you likely have no idea, at all, what I am talking about.

Wow! I know you will probably want to get all offended here and say that I am also being cynical, but that sounds horribly cold, and just the opposite of what Jesus asked of us.

I kind of have to agree with Panda. At least, I see what he is talking about. Foolishly, I hang around at the "Worthy Christians" forum some. Today, I was watching a woman complaining about being asked to leave a Lutheran (not her church) Soup Kitchen because she took it upon herself to just...

Then, you obviously didn't read them? Too bad. Most of those "Laws" are the words God gave the Israelites when He chose them. There is much wisdom in those words for us humans. (And, BTW, no one had to go to much effort. That list has existed for thousands of years.)

I take it you have not looked at the list I posted in post #29?

I would like us each to go down through this list, and although it is obvious that many of these would not pertain to people who are no longer under a system of sacrifice, can any of us say all these laws should be thrown out? I think most of us already live by many of them in our everyday...

As do I.

But, what do "Liberal Democrats" have to do with liberal Christianity?

Good post. But I would have written it THIS way: "Jesus was considered RADICAL, and a threat to the religious community of His day...If He were here today, I'm convinced CONSERVATIVE Christians would be hating on Him with the same ferocity." (EDIT) My wife just read this, and said: "I think...

It seems amazing that they don't even see their own hypocrisy.

Considering there will be no "rapture", I would say the OP is headed for "someone" growing to be awfully old. :eek:

Is there any country that uses something like a "gold standard", and not fake paper money?

Verse 14 says He was talking to "the crowd." Some seemed to be Pharisees because they "tested" Him with questions. And "Sons" can often mean "Followers."

(EDIT) Sorry I was short with you there. I am not here to pick people to argue with and look for targeted responses. These are general questions, and I was just wondering if any of us had any real answers.
